[B][COLOR=red][SIZE=7]On my HP Pavilion, I have a Sony CRX215E5 48x CD-RW drive. Windows recognizes it and even says I can't update drivers because I already have the newest drivers. I put a CD in, and the green light on the tower just keeps flashing until I take the CD out. In addition, I go to explore the CD and there is nothing there. Any ideas?

Firmware update is dated June 2006 which means you burner is old and depending on how many times you used it, it may be bad, had a newer Soney burner and had to do the fimeware update just a couple of months after I had it. Anyway it can't hurt so do the firmware update and let us know, jja
